Craig -- our oldest daughter is legally 9 (though biologically she may be 11 or 12; it's a long story, but the orphanage wasn't sure because she was one of the street children in Mumbai). She has not made a confession of faith. If she were 14 or 15, I think we'd clearly wait until she makes a profession of faith. She's just kind of at that in-between age where it's not entirely clear to me what to do. Having said that, if it were entirely up to me, I'd have her baptised as a covenant child.

Pastorway said -- "Our church also has solid, Christ-exalting, reformed, expositional preaching, but no one in our midst is being won over to infant baptism.... "

I didn't mean to suggest that all good, reformed, expository preaching will inevitably lead to credo-baptism, and certainly am not interested at this point in starting a paedo v. credo debate. On the other hand, now that I think about, perhaps the reason no one in your midst has become a paedo baptist (yet) is that you haven't given your congregation enough time? (Just kidding).

As noted, I do believe that it would be most consistent (and my preference) that she be baptized as a covenant child. I probably will raise this again with our Elders.
